New Scarpa Alien 1.0 vs Scarpa Alien RS vs Scarpa Alien 3.0

Here are a couple of close-up photos of the newly redesigned Scarpa Alien 1.0, now using a carbon infused Grilamid shell just like the Alien RS.

The new 1.0 really seems to be a blend of features of the old 1.0, the new RS, and the racing specialist boot 3.0.

We will add more details soon so check back to this page.

New closing mechanism – there is no locking pin for the lever to clip into – used for Scarpa RS and Alien 1.0, but not yet on Alien 3.0
